I find it somewhat odd that each advisory from an anti-virus vendor concerning the slapper worm advises to not only patch your software, but also keep your antivirus software current.
If the software is patched then antivirus software is irrelevent.
How big is the antivirus software market for linux?
I had to deal with a similar situation a while back. For the users that didn't understand they had a user directory on the server we used a simple batch file which ran xcopy on a couple of their directories to copy files for them. Place the batch file on their desktop and call it backup.bat. Tell them to run it before they leave every day. And be sure to let them know what directories are being backed up.
Or you could use backup software on the server that supports client agents or over the network backups.
For a couple of years now I have had very little trouble with my printer running under linux. First Slackware and now Redhat. It's a Cannon BJC-610 and is now supported under Ghostscript's UPP drivers (filter setup is finally made easy now with RH printfilters.)
Samba even lets my Win98 box print to it with Cannon's windows drivers. If I want different resolutions for printing in Linux I can just add another entry into/etc/printcap and print to that.
I just don't see what's so great about this CUPS - I thought that there were already a couple of common print spooling systems....
Could it be that this company is just trying to make money by selling the drivers for this?
They are obviously afraid of losing current paying customers to Linux but are trying to bring in more business by it's "Linux Professional Services" offerings.

That was scheduled for the next dream...

Now that is building a subwoofer!!
It does look pretty cool.
Rumor has it the follow up release will be called The Matrix.
Have any last requests?

nah... in the army, it's more like us contractors.
I agree 100% - I found it a few weeks ago on freshmeat while looking for a fast and lightweight file manager.
It definately is fast.
That was just RedHat - NOT Linux.

Win NT Server keeps the printer driver files on the server - when a client adds a network printer it installs them on the client as well.
You can designate in Samba where to keep these printer files so that when windows clients add the network printer the drivers get installed.

I doubt they last for very much longer...
